module Netplex_mp

Uses Unix.fork to create new threads.

After forking the child process is initialized by calling Netsys_posix.run_post_fork_handlers.

By default, all file descriptors are closed that are not explicitly shared with the parent process. This can be wrong for some kind of applications. By setting keep_fd_open another behavior can be demanded: The descriptors are kept open except those that need to be closed.

When the controller wants to shut down the process, it notifies the process, and waits terminate_tmo seconds until the process terminates. If this timeout expires, the process is killed. Defaults to 60. A negative value disables this function.
